The Katy Trail is a 237 mile (386 km) trail stretching across most of the state of Missouri. Over half the trail's length follows Lewis and Clark's path up the Missouri River, where you can ride beneath towering river bluffs while eagles circle overhead. After leaving the river, the trail meanders through peaceful farmland and small-town Americana.

By trail: The MKT Nature and Fitness Trail connects the Katy Trail to the heart of Columbia. This scenic 9 mile trail takes riders through wetlands and wooded areas. The MKT Trail links to the Katy Trail at mile 169.9, just west of McBaine.

By car: Columbia is on highway 70, between mile markers 123 and 130. The quickest way to get to the Katy Trail from Columbia is Rocheport, which is about 10 miles west of Columbia on highway 70.

The MKT Trail is Columbia’s premier multi-use trail. It ranked second in the nation for “Best Urban Trail” in the 2016 USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards. This 10-foot wide trail built on the old railbed of the MKT railroad begins in downtown Columbia in Flat Branch Park at 4th and Cherry Streets and ends at the State of Missouri’s Katy Trail State Park near McBaine. The distance from the start of the MKT Trail to the Katy Trail is 8.9 miles. The Katy Trail extends for 240 miles from St. Charles in eastern Missouri to Sedalia in western Missouri. The MKT Trail’s all-weather crushed limestone surface provides opportunities for walking, running, and cycling.
